This place was great! They had live music playing and it was super lit up even when we came late! The guy at the front was so nice and easy to talk too. We got our pizza really fast and it was sooo good!! highly recommend this place when passing by Ventura. read more

First time here and we happened to come on a Friday night when it was karaoke night. It was such a great time. We were so entertained! I ordered the Hang Ten which is 2 pizza slices and a small chef salad. I should have skipped the salad because it just wasn't worth it to me. The pizza slices were HUGE. 2 slices = 4 normal slices. I got one Hawaiian and 1 sausage and pepperoni. I honestly enjoyed the Hawaiian more than the other. The sausage and pepperoni was greasier but still really enjoyable the pizza crust is thin and tastes so fresh! We parked in the back parking lot behind the entrance. It wasn't too busy when we arrived but got the last parking spot. The only negative I have to say is they were sold out of several items so pizza choices were limited. Come for the pizza but stay for the entertainment. read more

Tony's was such a vibe. We came on a Sunday night over Memorial Day weekend and happened to catch Reggae Night, which made the whole experience even better. I actually spotted the place while driving by and decided to stop on a whim. It felt like a true locals' hangout. People of all ages were out dancing, and it was clear a lot of them knew each other. It was so much fun just sitting back, soaking in the atmosphere, and getting swept up in the music. Honestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of my weekend. You order food and drinks at the counter, and luckily there wasn't much of a line when we arrived. It was definitely busy, though, so the wait for our pizza was about 45 minutes. We didn't mind at all because the live music and people-watching made the time fly. We ordered the Tony's Special, which was super generous in size and toppings. The pizza was delicious. One of the best parts was this older gentleman walking around checking in on everyone and clearing tables. He was incredibly kind. When we got up to dance, he passed by later and said, "I wondered where you went," which made us smile. He remembered us and could tell we were new, which made the experience feel even more personal. I really appreciate places that take the time to notice and welcome newcomers. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Back story about this spot. My hubby is a truck driver and passes this spot maybe 3 or 4 times a month. I always like to see his routes and what he see's so we decided to take a day trip to Ventura County to see the sites. He's always been curious about this place so we stopped for dinner. What a cute little gem sitting on the cornier or Thomson Blvd about a 5 minute walk from the beach. When you walk up to the restaurant you are totally taken back to a simpler time. It gives you surf shop vibes. There's only outdoor dining, but that's okay because they have plenty of heat lamps as well as fire pits. They have a stage for band performances which are probably on Friday and Saturday. They also have cute games to play while your wait. Service was quick because the menu is simple. Pizza and salad. They also have wine as well as bottled soft drinks as well as fountain drinks. The Pizza was decent. I enjoyed the toppings more than anything. I think it could've been cooked longer. It was a little greasy but still decent. Crust was thin and crunchy. I will say this warmed up in the over on broil the next day it was perfect. I'm glad my Mister got his curiosity satisfied and we had a great day and night. read more

Terrible service. Tried to pay via tap and the employee stated they didn't accept tap. Tried to pay with a $100 and employee stated he couldn't accept it. I ended up leaving. While leaving I did see that same employee take the next customers order and cash and immediately touched the pizza with his bare hands. Not very sanitary, I'm glad I left. read more

Downtown hotspot with tables. a beautiful open air patio and a stage, often occupied by various styles of cover bands. With two & three-slice meals and salads, in addition to their standard whole pizzas, Tony's has great pizza for great prices. There are a variety of beers of course, but also some wines and cute canned cocktails! There is limited parking in a little dirt lot off to the side, where single stall bathrooms are also located. Place your order at the window and get a text when it's ready on the hot plate, napkins and cutlery self serve. Definitely check this place out, very chill spot to catch live music, grab a slice and beer! read more

I was craving pizza for dinner so we called ahead to order a medium pizza with half pepperoni and half hawaiian. We also ordered some buffalo wings. They told us it would take 30 minutes. We arrived 30 minutes later and the pizza was ready but they said they needed 5 minutes to pour the sauce on the wings. 5 minutes later, the wings were still not ready. I think we ended up waiting an extra 10 minutes just for the wings. Not sure what was the point of us calling ahead to place an order and them telling us 30 minutes if we still had to wait when we arrived. The food was delicious though! I really liked the Hawaiian pizza but my husband liked the pepperoni more. The pizza was pretty oily though... they put the pizza in a paper bag and by the time we went back to our hotel, the oil was seeping through the bag. read more

Place advertised as having thin "crispy" pizza - pizza is supper soggy, and oily/ no pizza integrity and a zero on the flop scale - worst pizza I've ever had.

Tony's Pizzaria - It take effort to make a pizza suck this much - Pizza Near Me - Ventura, California

Really disappointed with this experience. The pizza was extremely greasy to the point where the bread felt soaked and saturated. I couldn't even pick up a slice without it completely falling apart because it was so weighed down with oil. On top of that, the wait was much longer than expected, and when we finally got the food, it was overwhelmingly salty. Between the grease and the salt, it just wasn't enjoyable. I hate leaving negative reviews, but this was not a good experience and definitely not worth the wait. I also feel like many of the positive reviews here are mostly about the ambiance, the porch, the outdoor seating, and the live band. While that might be a nice vibe, I don't go to a pizza place for the atmosphere. I go for the pizza. And unfortunately, the pizza itself was terrible. read more

Absolute rip-off. We dropped $60 for pizza that was downright awful. Bland, greasy, and nowhere near worth the price. To add insult to injury, they charge $1 per tiny parmesan packet like it's liquid gold. Who does that? We also ordered a salad, which showed up with zero dressing -- just a pile of plain lettuce thrown in a box. No flavor, no effort, nothing. Between the sky-high prices, cheap nickel-and-diming, and garbage food quality, this place is a joke. Do yourself a favor and spend your money literally anywhere else in Ventura. read more

My friends and i produced an event at the VC Fairgrounds last weekend and must have ordered around 80+ XL pizzas over 7 days or so between us all. My favorite is pepperoni with fresh jalapenos. Nice crunchy thin crust slightly chared. Outstanding, friendly service and amazing New York Style pizza. By far, my favorite pizzaria in Ventura County. Great atmoshere near the beach and its a live music venue. Thank you Bruce Barios and staff. read more

The best pizza in town! The crust is crunchy almost taste like Neapolitan pizza. They always have a long line in the evenings. Live music and beach vibes. If you don't plan to eat there make sure to order at least 30 minutes in advance. Pick up is simple and fast. read more

SERVICE: Our first time there and man the service and experience was amazing! Outdoor seating, positive vibes, live music, games, heating lamps, and the customer service was on point. No complaints. Met the owner who I learned is a DJ - he's amazing. Reasonable enough parking for about 15-20 vehicles. You can catch the tunes walking buy as people waved from the other side of the fence. FOOD: Enjoyed the pizza (a hair salty for me) and the wings too were good. Drink was cool too and grabbed a bottled water just because. WELL: We're going to be regulars and you should too! * Shoutout to Colin/David for register/customer service * Get the 50! lol read more

Pizza hot made to order. Handmade by the taste of it. Awesome custom numbering on to go package, thought it was a nice touch. Heat lamps for the outdoor seating. Fun ambiance, stage and outdoor games for the kids and adults alike. Setting up for a private party so it seems like THE spot. Warm welcoming owners and staff. Just popped by walking distance from Ventura Beach and Fairgrounds which is ideal due to the paid parking situation. Although they do have a back parking lot of their own. Outdoor restrooms. The only complaint is there is no basil topping option. Overall a perfect experience for a quick dinner to go! read more

On my way back to LA I passed this place and was intrigued so I stopped in. I tried to buy a slice but the kid behind the counter said they had a big party going on and weren't doing slices anymore (there was maybe 10 people if that) ok then. Wings? Nope. Ok how about a whole pizza? Was told cheapest one is a medium at about 28 bucks. Wtf? Look if you don't want the buissness just say so instead of having these weird cop outs. Idk 2 stars cuz it seems like a cool spot but can't tell ya how anything tastes. read more

This is going to start off rough. But give it a chance. I'm glad I did. Took the train to Ventura from Union Station. Tony's is an easy walk from the train stop. It's an outdoor experience with live music and great ambiance. As I sat down, I was organizing my bag. The business section of the train provides snacks and alcohol. I was on the phone and looking at what I still had in my goodie sack. The host who helps monitor the area approached me informing me that I cannot open the alcohol (wine) that I had. Being on the phone I simply said, "okay, thank you" and I continued to clean out my bags. He stood at the table and then proceeded to pick up my wine bottles! I pulled them back from him and asked him not to touch my things. He continued telling me that I needed to put them away. I hung up my phone and told him to give me a moment. He had JUST told me about the (very common) policy and my intention was not to drink them but only organizing. He walked away but continued to "watch me" from his post. When I put the mini bottles back into my bag, he said, "thank you" as he was still watching me. I've never felt more judged, belittled, or treated like a child than at that moment. It was a horrible first impression and I hadn't even tried the pizza yet! I was so bothered I spoke to the manager. I told her that I understand the policy and saw that they sell alcohol--including wine. I know enough about dining out to know you don't "BYOB" or expect to pay a corkage fee--which they have and is $10. Anyways, manager was great. Returned to my table, pizza came, and was pretty good. It's super greasy, but that's what kinda made it yummy! Minutes later, the same gentleman came to my table with an apology and complimentary wine. I appreciated the gesture and respect the fact that he apologized. It's never an easy thing to do. In the end, it turned out to be a great find. The live music was fabulous. The band was, The Cousins. Which was ironic because the host's name tag also said, "Cousin...". As the evening came the patio lights turned on along with the many patio heaters. Despite the rough start to the experience, I turned out to be a great spot. I'm glad I found it and will definitely return--without my train wine! There's tons of free parking on the side gravel lot. And they are dog friendly which is always a plus for me. I think the property is wheelchair accessible too. I forgot to mention that they have delicious shaved ice too! Next time I'm trying one of those! read more

I honestly only stopped here because I smelled the pizza as I walked by, and it smelled amazing. I got a single slice combo on my way back to the Amtrak train and was very happy with my purchase. It was around 5 pm on a Friday and I was first in line to the little walk up window. Very simple setup. Employees were all really chill and nice. And my slice was fresh and hot, ready in like 10-15 min. They also have a tiny bathroom which was very welcome. All the seating is outdoors, which I loved. And the patio is so cute. They have those adirondack chairs and a bunch of lawn games. Definitely good for families and groups. Nice vibes but I wouldn't really call it beachfront since it's after the fairgrounds, an overpass, and train tracks. But it's within walking distance of both the beach and downtown Ventura. I ate my slice on the train and was very happy! Def will be back on my next jaunt to Ventura! read more

Fun spot with live music near C St in Ventura! Lots of outdoor seating with heat lamps/fire pits for those cool evening and a luau aesthetic. Pizza was affordable for a slice ($5.50) and I thought it was alright, not too greasy - but my friend said hers was too salty and the crust was 'like a communion wafer'. They have beers, ciders, and wine; and we got to try these locally made in Ojai, all-natural hard ciders - the cucumber ginger was our favorite with the rose coming in second. Staff was very friendly and polite, but the BAND brought the experience over the top! Highly recommend "Something This Way Magic" if you see them! read more

Stopped by during the x games and it was packed. We were forewarned that a pizza would take 45 minutes which was no biggie. Our pretzel breadsticks came out in about 15 minutes. There was a mishap with the kitchen losing our pizza ticket but the staff was very apologetic and offered free beers while we waited for an expedited pizza. The pizza came out piping hot with a nice thin crunchy crust. Pizza was good and left us full without feeling overstuffed. read more

Customer service was a 2. The cashier rolled their eyes when another customer made a comment about how long they had to wait for 2-cheese slices of pizza. Service: we waited 30 minutes for our pizza. We waited an additional 45 minutes for our wings which never came. When we went to ask for our order they told me that they made a mistake and the order was never placed. My option, was to wait another 40 minutes (while they had other wing orders in the oven) or get a refund. I chose the refund. I went to talk to "Cousin David" He said there was nothing he could do about it. Sent me to talk to owner. At this point we were frustrated and hungry. We left. Pizza: very greasy and crusty was cardboard (blan). We will not return nor recommend to anyone. read more

Cute spot with a lovely outside sign that makes it look very appealing... So it was very disappointing that the veggie pizza we ordered was straight up terrible. Too soggy and lacking flavor.

I can't tell you how many times I have passed by this place and wanted to try it out with no luck. Finally we got to stop by for dinner and I was very disappointed.

There is some parking available. The place is more like a pizza stand with only outdoor seating, which is comfortable. Having no indoor seating is the only reason the rating is a 4. Has a great local feel. I guess they have bands performing regularly. It's a 5 min walk to/from the beach. Walk up window ordering from a very friendly staff. The pizza has a thin, crispy bottom crust that holds it shape instead of sagging. The outer crust is crispy but airy, so it's not too dense. Good amount of toppings with some grease from the pepperoni, but that's expected. REALLY tasty! I can see what it's a local favorite. read more
